An NBC Stand-Up for Diversity semi-finalist, John Wynn has harvested yuk-yuks from across the country, entertaining crowds at The Comedy Store, The Parlor Live!, and the Improvs in South Florida. With an original slant, John offers a charmingly skewed, yet hilarious perspective on his experience as an Asian-American, his thoughts on pop culture, and whatever else is on his mind.

Raised in the small town of Waco, Texas, John discovered that the local kids loved to beat up on Asians... (specifically John). So, he decided the best way to stay alive was to make people laugh. After high school, John made his parents laugh by moving to Los Angeles to pursue filmmaking.

While in Los Angeles, John wrote and “optioned” a script; in other words, he was broke. After finding his way (hitchhiking) to South Florida, John decided to tell jokes for a living; in other words, he was broke.

However, since his love to make a crowd laugh or to make a crowd feel super uncomfortable is greater than money, John can be found rummaging through the local comedy scene telling one joke at a time.
